all foods smoked but he also has a uni and we're going to hear all about chef bank but he has a unique ethnic background and i believe that he's half thai half malaysian and so he uses a lot of thai malaysian and even indian ingredients and spices and flavors in his cooking along with everything being smoked and i cannot wait to share the food with you it looks incredible [Music] all right chef bank all right so what do you do awesome to see you and this is your yeah this is your house yeah this is our house yeah very cool very cool come come over and have a look here hopefully it's gonna be a bit of a welcome drink station where we do a bit of izakaya and some welcome drink where everyone can just have a bit of a chit chat here on the truck yeah yeah on the tracks this is where we started from uh i was on the truck before so to tribute to the truck okay that's right okay so i'd seen some photos that it was uh okay you're half thai and half malaysian sorry that's malaysian indian okay my mom's thai chinese food like people salad that's awesome but did you grow up mostly in thailand or i was born go up there and then come back okay back and forth two of the best food cultures in the world okay yeah so here it is our tiny kitchen yeah okay as of now yeah pretty good this is where all the deliveries are happening this is our package oh so right now you right now you're doing a lot of delivery right okay you start it up so and that's the famous biryani yeah this is the famous one in the clay pot the private dining room is here um and then walk into the kitchen and again yeah just immediately you can smell the smoke just everywhere it smells so good but i'm sure it will smell better outside it's just like seeing you doing thing i don't feel like you're so good you're so good at doing this just a lot of practice nice to meet you thank you very much yeah this is awesome so we are doing the singaporean bakwa for the chitchat yeah yeah i can see the season there [Music] so now we got some wings we got some bok choy portobello and we got some smoked curry afterwards wow yeah smoked gouda curry smoked knuckle curry and ikan bakar and all this good so the concept is a mix of malaysian thai indian yeah a bit of chinese yeah dude that's like all of the best cuisines in one yeah and then smoked no mark it widely so i can oh you're putting a curry inside just heat up a little bit okay so this is your goat leg curry you cooked this in the smoker yeah you did the whole curry in the smoker no no the curry we baste there and you just leave it in here and then smoke it afterwards and bring those flavors also the knuckles we brine for 12 hours and then we smoke for another 12 hours and then we brace in the curry for six hours so it's like yeah 30 hours process for this wow that looks insane you mind taste test thank you chef [Music] oh wow mark so the best part is the smoke rings are still visible as you cut it in one sec [Music] i hope you're already loving the food but if you could just take one second to click the thumbs up button to click like on this video that would be a huge help uh thank you in advance for clicking thumbs up it's it's it's gonna be a set dinner table i call it yeah and it's gonna be banana leaf and everyone eats with their hands that's what i'm encouraging that's awesome for that it's optional so what do we have first you have the bakwa with the ginger face and the bakwa is the singapore [Music] oh yeah the char like it's sweet and kind of crumbly in your mouth and so smokey that umami from the fat burning follow that with the okay ginger drink yeah just ginger starter clean your palate get ready for your wow that's awesome oh yeah it's perfectly not too sweet so refreshing so crisp oh yeah that's amazing cool that's a perfect combination too because we got the sweet pork sweet smoky pork and then the really cold refreshing ginger nice and cold amazing combination together uh during during the food truck days we were doing is off the street of superbit 19. we just served with some [Music] dipping sauce my mouth was okay cool so we're gonna plate it now all right and this is oxton yep there's nothing better to eat off of than a banana leaf in the world thank you cub and uh we have some mixed nuts here in case you want to chit chat while you get okay so the first well now actually maybe the second course is ready but i love the concept here it's a dining room chef's table but smoke table so the first thing is oxton grilled ox tongue oh wow that is insane like that totally startled me i thought i was going to have to chew so tender sorry is what's the sauce on top chef uh is it pickled garlic and peanuts for lemons oh okay yeah and chili wow that is incredible next is okay sambal for the for the year yeah the fish that we have our smoke yeah gonna wrap the entire fall put the sambal on top and wrap it through in the amber nice nice dried shrimp crushed pork lot and masala awesome yeah we're gonna put them over here first so the fat of the pork and the dried shrimp this one is crazy right now and then when i go to malaysia ikan bakar is one of the things i love the most i love you guys so this time you just chuck it in the chimney the camera chuck it in the chimney [Music] oh this is the the side of it yeah okay oh this is the chimney where the the wood burns okay sweet sorry when you're moving or something nice and sharp [Music] how did you get so into smoked uh i've been i like barbecuing stuff yeah yeah because every restaurant i used to work i was always the main course guy yeah there was a are you big size go to man cause you big guy go to make horse chef chef i want to do salads so i ended up doing a lot of grilling okay so that's that's how i get involved deeper and deeper more into the smoking barbecuing stuff but then everyone's been doing barbecuing like you know texas style american style or whatever why not do like the proper asian way we have nice chassis we have nice pecking ducks and all that stuff right yeah why not promote it more you know ikan bakar you know only the asian knows but then half of the world doesn't know so i would love to promote that too yeah that's awesome philosophy i agree fully agree it's so juicy there's a pool of juice in the mushroom so all the ingredients are ready all everything's smoked the biryani is ready chef is about to set the table ready okay so this is biryani oh it smells so good [Music] asian slaw quill sambal with real egg sorry wow salt and dried shrimps next you need the mush oh is it the portobellos yeah and some bok choy yeah goat gold lake goat leg curry okay there you go dude that smells insane pork knuckle curry oh wow oh man some house curd onions yes crispy poplar fried curry leaf wow sprinkle them on top this is the garnish sprinkle good to go you can get more curry if you want yeah this is our sriracha wings yeah we almost forgot about the wings yeah this is like sriracha wings okay pilot it literally is a mountain of food the aromas in here are insane the mixture of everything that's one of the greatest things about this style of eating is just how everything mingles together okay ikan bakar is always one of my favorite things and because it's right in front of me on the top i'm just going to dig into that ikanbakar right now and ikan bakar is a malay malay grilled fish with sambal and so this one is king mackerel right the juiciness of it the sun ball in there oh man curry leaves oh okay the oily juices are out of control wow the richness of it the umami the smokiness it's all just like a happy packet in that banana leaf oh that is happiness oh i need to chase that with some rice if i can find the rice i'm eating on you where's that bitty honey i'm gonna have to part the part the seas part the beauty on you oh there's just it's just like layer upon layer of sauce chutney sambal meat and the biryani down at the bottom there i found it oh man [Music] oh wow it's so rich and so fluffy all at the same time everything just comes together in an absolutely perfect harmony even though every dish is so separate at the same time they taste like perfect together just mixed together i'm gonna move on to the leg and i'm talking about the the goat leg oh it's just it's just completely sliding out of the bun i actually have to i actually have to stabilize it to keep the meat from falling off the bone and you smell like the sweet spices in there too kind of like a cinnamon oh i just lost a chunk wow and all that spice has just been completely melted into the goat look at that inside it's like a straight up brisket goat brisket but then just like with spices curry smoked curry just swimming in smoke curry oh oh yeah that's hot maybe put this back onto the rice oh curry leaves in there mix this with biryani yeah i'm gonna take this opportunity to chase with a chili hmm that just completes the experience i think we're moving on to the next leg look at the bone look at that wow a little serving it's like a slice of cake look at that [Music] look at that skin there is just complete like you don't even need teeth for that it's like a ham that just melts in your mouth that's baby food a baby could eat the tenderness of this dude it's so tender [Applause] laughter and happiness of happiness here we've got the egg sambal coil egg sambal i'm gonna mix some onions into it too oh and how about a little piece of coat while i'm at it oh all the shrimp the dried shrimp umami i can guarantee you you're just going to want to put your face into this mountain of food let's try the portobello mushrooms wow all the juiciness the juiciness the like liquid smoke just comes out of it and finally the chicken wing the smoked sriracha chicken wing oh wow yes you can taste the smoke you've got that tangy almost like a barbecue sauce sriracha and then you just taste the way it's just been smoked all the way into the bone okay i think have we tried every everything yeah i think that's everything and now we're just gonna repeat extraordinary gourmet culinary experience this is spectacular where do a lot of the recipes come from there is so i've been raised by my grandmother for like over than a decade so and that's in malaysia yeah that's in malaysia oh yes little town called so i was a village boy during the the schooling days and she used to cook something like this and you know as i grow up i've tried eating curries in many places but you know the taste memory where you've grown and you have eaten every day actually set the standard of a good curry unknowingly so i asked for her recipe and then i tweaked a little bit we're doing barbecue stuff and just it's a tribute to her very cool so these are family family recipes but then like tweaked a little bit and smoked out yeah playful it smoked out [Music] i almost totally forgot about the bok choy hiding underneath there and you can just see that perfect char on the bok choy smoked out it's still crisp and juicy has a little bit of like a a sambal chili taste to it too it's just like a mountain of melted smoked meat and sauces and sambals almost all of the meat on the goat drumstick has just fallen off just like literally just slipped off the bone but there is still some bits to nod [Music] go curry yeah this meal is just straight up like a an american barbecue had a head-on collision with southeast asia starting to get the meat sweats pushing out from your skin it means sweating sweats it's almost like you're swimming in it oh but yeah guaranteed to just get all over your face and you're gonna love it [Music] just the mixing and matching is out of control yeah oh yeah the yogurt wow i one of the top recommendations i can give you when you come to eat here do not wear jeans do not use a belt elastic is the only way to go you need you need room for expansion thank you bob okay so take away a whole clay pot to take home that's awesome and then but jeff also did tell us that uh if you come here with uh friends if you come here you get a lotus leaf to pack to take away um and then you can bring it home and reheat it all right [Music] you're better at packing than i am okay and so that's our takeaway in a clay pot and this is also how they do delivery chef was saying you could take it to the park you could unwrap it you could eat it anywhere spread out the banana leaves eat it at home eat it on the street any surface you find you can unwrap a package and i cannot wait to reopen this again all you need after a meal like that yeah that's all either something juicy but anyway for dessert uh just fresh fruit [Music] that is all you need after that meal but i am just ultra to the max of satisfaction right now one more question is emotion one is a smoke one is the process of smoking it's a process of smoking where require high emotion and high understanding of fire so therefore it's called our one awesome explanation great name and it's like a perfect name for the food that we just ate it's my most favorite thing you have to show off so how many years did you sell out of the truck uh two years okay almost yeah so this is where i i start my day by finding where's the light yeah you ready [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh that is heavy the entire clay pot all the leftovers it is a hidden gem of a restaurant uh and then also the amount of care the amount of love and passion that is put into the food into the process and then additionally just how everything is so personal the food is so personal and it would really be fun to go with friends gather a group of people together go with friends for a feast of a meal a meal that you will never forget amazing
